Nigerian Youth It Is Time to Wake Up from Our Slumber

-
Image
Nigeria’s youth stand at a historic crossroads. Across the world, nations are moving forward innovating, building strong institutions, growing their economies, and beautifying their environments while we, the so-called “Giant of Africa,” continue to struggle with problems that should have been solved decades ago. The truth is painful but necessary: if we do not wake up now, the future will pass us by. Look around the African continent. Countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, South Africa, and Rwanda are making visible progress. Their infrastructure is improving, their cities are cleaner, their economies are becoming more diversified, and their governments are increasingly driven by clear plans and measurable goals. These nations are not perfect, but they are moving forward with purpose. Meanwhile, Nigeria blessed with abundant natural resources, a large population, and some of the brightest minds on the continent continues to lag behind. The problem is not a lack of potentia...

Soft Hearts in a Hard World

-
Image
The worst way to live is to pour love into everyone else while never learning how to receive it. I’ve been thinking about this a lot. From the moment we are born, love is not a luxury it is a need. Before we learn strength, independence, or pride, we learn longing. We grow into our bodies shaped by family, experiences, mistakes, survival, and circumstance, but one thing never changes: the desire to be loved, seen, and held emotionally. Somewhere along the way, many of us get hurt. Sometimes deeply. Sometimes repeatedly. We are betrayed by people we trusted, disappointed by those we expected to protect us, abandoned by those who promised to stay. Slowly, quietly, we learn to guard our hearts. We call it maturity. We call it strength. We convince ourselves we no longer need what once broke us. But trauma does not erase human needs. No matter how strong I become, no matter how mature I appear, the desire to be loved never disappears. It only hides. We bury it under achievements, dist...

African Unity Is a Myth America Just Exposed It

-
Image
Let’s call it what it is: a disgrace . I am beyond disappointed in African leaders, and honestly, the African Union should be hanging its head in shame. Two African countries,  Rwanda and the DRC  are on the edge of conflict, and instead of the AU stepping in like a responsible body, we sat there folding our arms like spectators in a cheap drama. It got so bad that the United States had to step in and play referee. And some people are celebrating this. Celebrating what, exactly? Celebrating our failure? Where Are the So-Called “African Solutions”? We love to shout, “African solutions to African problems,” but when the time comes to act, our leaders suddenly become tourists. Attending conferences. Taking pictures. Reading speeches someone else wrote. Meanwhile the continent is burning. But don’t worry America will come fix it, right? If this is what African unity looks like, then we are finished. Let’s Be Honest: The AU Is Sleeping on the Job What is the AU good f...

Welcome to Nigeria, Where Opinions Come with Expiry Dates

-
Image
As I was reading the comments about Tuface Idibia and Natasha, I honestly had to pause and ask myself: What exactly is wrong with people on this social media space? The hypocrisy is so loud it should have its own BVN. 😂 All of a sudden, Annie Idibia don turns angel Gabriel’s PA. The same Nigerians that dragged her like faulty Keke brake are now pretending she’s the standard for sainthood. Abeg, Nigerians will confuse even Google Maps. Nigeria is a comedy club disguised as a nation. One minute they are moral judges, the next minute they are motivational speakers, then by evening they are FBI agents with fake evidence. Nobody switches character faster than a Nigerian on social media. 😂 But let me talk to the men in the back: Please, protect your peace like your life depends on it because it actually does. If you break down, these same people will type “Omo, eyaaa. Stay strong bro 🙏🏽” while drinking cold malt and dragging someone else. 😂 Don’t let anyone stress you especially...

Nigeria at a Crossroads: Is It Time to Consider Peaceful Regional Separation?

-
Image
  Every Nigerian no matter where you’re from knows one truth we don’t say out loud often enough: Nigeria is not working. It hasn’t been working. And if we’re being honest… it may never work as one country. For over 60 years, we’ve tried to force unity among groups that see the world differently, live differently, and want different things from a nation. And with the recent killings, rising insecurity, ethnic suspicion, and deep political imbalance, it’s becoming clearer that: Nigeria is united on paper but divided in reality. Let’s stop pretending. The Marriage Was Forced from the Start Nigeria didn’t come together naturally. It wasn’t love. It wasn’t agreement. It wasn’t a handshake among the major ethnic groups. It was a British signature in 1914. Different cultures Hausa/Fulani in the North, Yoruba in the West, Igbo in the East, and so many minorities were locked into one structure and told to “make it work.” For decades, we’ve tried. But when a house is built on a shaky f...

🔥 When the Anointing Meets Attitude! 🔥

-
Image
Let’s talk truth  raw, but sanctified truth. Some people think the anointing is an all-purpose substitute for manners. You can cast out demons, but can you greet people properly? You can speak in tongues, but can you speak kindly to ushers, drivers, or waiters? You can quote Psalm 23, but you act like you wrote it yourself! 👉 The anointing breaks yokes, not relationships. Samson was anointed, but his poor relationship choices plucked out his eyes. David was anointed, but his wisdom with people made kings bow to him. Joseph was anointed, but it was his character and courtesy that took him from prison to Pharaoh’s palace. Don’t use “I’m anointed” to excuse being arrogant, rude, or impossible to work with. Even angels greeted men with “Fear not.”  Some of us greet people with “Stress not!” 😅 The anointing will open spiritual doors , but relationship skills open human ones. You need both. Heaven may recommend you, but men must recognize you. Ask Esther it wasn...

How to Deal with People Without Losing Your Mind

-
Image
If we are honest, human beings are like a curriculum from God. Some teach you patience. Some teach you silence. And some… will have you praying, “Lord, give me strength not to react!” Yet, the truth remains: you can’t fulfill your destiny without people. Even Jesus needed disciples… and one still betrayed Him! So, how do you relate with people without losing your mind? Let’s gist 👇 1. Use Discernment, Not Just Your Eyes Not everyone who calls you “bro” or “sis” is sent from heaven. Some were sent from the ministry of confusion! Proverbs 12:26 : “The righteous choose their friends carefully.” Discernment saves you from unnecessary drama. 2. Love Everybody, But Don’t Trust Everybody Love is a command. Trust is a privilege. Jesus loved all, but He didn’t take all to the Mount of Transfiguration! Be kind but guard your heart; it is not a bus stop. 3. Stop Fighting to Be Liked You are not jollof rice  not everyone will like you! Even God, with all His goodness, has ha...
